Verdict

Leicester third Cool Bob has had 47 career starts and is still seeking a first success. Devil's Dyke didn't shown much on his chasing bow but The Omen has been running well and will handle conditions, though was beaten in a seller over hurdles last time. TRESOR DE LA VIE was still inclined to run in snatches at Wincanton but at least got round and that will have boosted confidence. He's dropped another couple of pounds since so should be a factor with Conor Shoemark's claim a further plus. Fishing Bridge may be best of the rest.
